On Household Appliances
by Wang Minan
About This Novel
A mind-boggling insight into home living, dissecting the texture and bones of household appliances layer by layer, and analyzing the civilized structure of home space. In the world of objects, start a new thinking about objects. How to understand and imagine the household appliances that accompany us silently? Use a speculative perspective to examine individual experience, and use poetic language to reconstruct ordinary life. Dismantle the copper and iron walls of "theoretical texts" and make them into pots and pans that can be lifted and put away. A long-awaited reissue of a classic. Wang Min'an, a well-known scholar and professor at Tsinghua University, has a new collection of essays on home space and household appliances. Since the first edition of this book was released in 2015, it has become a popular classic that is hard to find, and has attracted widespread attention and discussion on social platforms. The English version of this book was published by the famous British academic publisher Routledge in 2017.
